Why is it worth reviewing your pension provision?

In the event of disability, death or old age, the statutory minimum insurance is often insufficient to finance the standard of living to which people are accustomed. 

Pension gaps are particularly common among the self-employed and among employees with above-average incomes, such as managers. This is because social security benefits are targeted at normal earners and the self-employed are not compulsorily insured in the second pillar.

In principle, every employee should know how much income he or she will have in the event of illness or accident. Everyone should know whether their survivors are adequately covered after their death.
